Crew 2, FC Dallas 1

Ritchie Kotschau and Leonard Bisaku each had an unassisted goal to lead the Columbus Crew to a 2-1 victory over FC Dallas on Saturday night.

The Crew (4-4-2) rebounded from a 5-1 loss last week to the D.C. United that matched the worst in franchise history. FC Dallas (6-2-3) lost for the first time in seven home games.

Kotschau's goal in the 89th minute gave Columbus a 2-0 lead and turned out to be the deciding score. Kotschau dribbled around three FC Dallas defenders and fired a shot from 10 yards that sailed just underneath the top of the crossbar.

FC Dallas forward Carlos Ruiz scored from 12 yards in the 91st minute for his seventh goal of the season and set a club record by scoring in his sixth consecutive game.

Bisaku scored his first goal of the season in the 75th minute on a rebound from a miss by Jacob Thomas. Thomas' shot hit the top of the crossbar and caromed to Bisaku, who fired a shot into the left corner of the net from 8 yards to make it 1-0.

Crew goalie Noah Palmer made five saves in his MLS debut. He started because Columbus' top four goalkeepers are out with injuries.

Columbus outshot FC Dallas 20-19, including a 9-2 advantage in the first half.
